Bonjour Paris!

My amazing husband surprised me for my birthday this year by celebratin it with me in Paris! We spent an amazing week never even leaving the City of Lights - too much to see and more walking than we were used to. We enjoyed the camaraderie of Justyna Richards (http://www.justynaphotography.com) from Pictue Paris, who led us through the quiet side streets of the Latin Quarter and Montmartre, shared meals with us at fabulous boulangeries and creperies, overwhelmed us with her staggering knowledge of local history (is there any good reason why everyone famous dies a horrible and tragic death?!) and left us addicted to the history and sights of an amazing city. Below are some of our favorite shots - just a few of 2,300 that we took (gotta love digital!!)



the lovely Justyna!

the Louvre at night - eerie, romantic, awesome!

my little French friend on his way to work at the Louvre - although my French was weak and his English broken, you can clearly see how proud of his bicycle and the trinkets he had collected over time...

and our friends at Pizza Pino - one of the few places that we could understand the menu!!
